Re: Written Intention to extend ground lease between the City of Pasco and Franklin
County (Resolution 94-121)
In 1994, the City of Pasco and Franklin County entered into a ground lease agreement approved
by Franklin County Resolution #94-121 on May 25.1994, for the purpose of developing sports
fields. Accordingly, the Pasco Sporting Complex containing six (6) softball fields was developed
on the site.
The ground lease agreement states:
"This Lease shall commence as of the date the election is certified ("Commencement Date') and
shall continue for twenty (20) years from the date of substantial completion of the Improvements.
The Parties may extend the Lease by mutual, written agreement for consecutive renewal periods
("Periods') of five (5) years each, the first Period commencing upon the expiration of the twenty
(20) year term ... " (Page 4 Section 1.2)
Please consider this letter as the City's written confirmation of its intention to extend the lease
for the first of the above mentioned 5-year periods.
Respectfully,
N. Zach Ratkai
Administrative & Community Services Director
